HAWKWIND:   Palace Springs

Back In The Box

Back in the box,
Shut in the dark,
Falling apart

Digging the dirt,
Hiding the hurt

Locked in a dream
What does it mean?

Shut in the box- too many locks
Back in the box, back in the box
Back in the box, back in the box

Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back...
Counting down
Twisting round
See behind your back
....behind your back

Locked in a dream
What does it mean?

Shut in a box
There's too many locks
Shut in a box
There's too many locks

Round and round
Round and round and round

I see you hanging there

Switch on the TV, look at the screen
Money for a Rolls or a washing machine
You pay your money and you pay your rent
Every day it's always spent
Maybe it starts to be the same
You look out your window and it starts to rain
Someone is saying it's time to die
Send us some money and I'll tell you why

I pay my stamps and I pay my tax
I daren't stop working and that's a fact
But all I see on the TV screen
Is starving kids and war machines
Is this what I've been taught in school?
Is education the golden rule?
the golden rule the golden rule.......

Back in the box

Treadmill

I'm so distant and so cold
I've lived too long and I'm so old
I've tried so many different ways
I've watched each one of them decay

I can't expound before the ages
While we are leafing through the pages
The office blocks from which we march
The mirrored shades of the patriarch

Caught by streams of constant motion
Most of the workers have no notion
Sitting glued to computer screens
Fingers raised - "must finish the scene"

Lizards lounge in penthouse flats
May soon find out where it's at
They gnaw away our hard earned pay
We walk the treadmill every day

I'm so distant and so cold
I've lived too long and I'm so old
I've tried so many different ways
I've watched each one of them decay

I can't expound before the ages
While we are leafing through the pages
The office block from which we march
The mirrored shades of the Patriarch
